From this point of view it is important to remember that the Convention on Biological Diversity considerate the Agro-Biodiversity an essential part of the Biodiversity inextricable whole, to protected by the States Parties. Therefore, the competences, techniques and technologies that will be developed in AQU are focused at integrating Biodiversity, cultural and social perspectives into a coherent sustainable landscape management.This approach is strategic for the Palestinian Territories but also, in a larger dimension, for the whole of the Mediterranean Region, where the erosion of Biodiversity is a worsening and expanding problem due to the human impact on the environment and the absence of consistent global politics to combat and control it.The Capacity building of AL-Quds University in this strategic field will be increased by :Networking and joint research activities in Biodiversity conservation and restoration and related socio-economic aspects, with a well experienced Italian University.Training in nursery activities with a Italian SME already involved in several EU research project in this field.Training in EU projects approach, selection, preparation and submission, with a Belgian not for profit research association.Development of an Al Quds University’s research/policy strategy, able to support the Government in its related planning activities, according to the EU Policy and objectives.
